Have good defensive games. USC has interior players that take it to the rack. This could be the difference if those guys don't rebound and defend.

The Lithuanian big is a nice crafty vet and really knows his way around the basket. Take care of him and we win imo. Btw 6-9 frosh Silva was a high school teammate of Briscoe.
 
Unfortunately this is going to be a tough task to get a Win down there. They are 21-3 playing on their home court against "Kentucky". This is their showcase game on ESPN, they will have a full house of crazy fans, probably some kind of TShirt day or something. Throw in the fact the officiating on the road is the worst i can remember, not just for UK but for ALL the top programs scross College Basketball. I fully expect a loss and Cut Nets and the other Trolls to be on here with their idiotic agendas the rest of the evening.
 
We have no answer for the 10th year player number 24 whos name amazingly escapes me at the moment
 
Just stay out of foul trouble.
At this level of physical competition, Lee can't stay out of foul trouble. I have discussed the reasons before, but it boils down to lack of lower body strength. Lack of strength plus the complete lack of an offensive game are the reasons Lee lost his starting job and won't be drafted this year. Humphries is another story. Humphries is strong, and he has an offensive game too. Humphries' problem is that he doesn't yet understand how to move his feet, which makes him a defensive liability until he learns. In many systems, Humphries would be hidden in a zone. Lee would also be better off in a zone. But Calipari doesn't play zones because he is preparing his best recruits for NBA careers.

Pretty great he played so many minutes yesterday and didn't foul much.
